Abstract

We show that normalized quantum $K$-theoretic vertex functions for cotangent bundles of partial flag varieties are the eigenfunctions of quantum trigonometric Ruijsenaars–Schneider (tRS) Hamiltonians. Using recently observed relations between quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov (qKZ) equations and tRS integrable system we derive a nontrivial identity for vertex functions with relative insertions.
